What is filming in Halifax? ITV crime drama Unforgotten is set to film scenes in the town
A popular ITV crime series is set to film scenes in Halifax next month.
Unforgotten, created and written by screenwriter Chris Lang, will see Sanjeev Bhaskar (DI Sunny Khan) and Sinéad Keenan (DCI Jess James) return to lead the seventh series.
The drama opens with the chilling discovery of human remains in the crawl space of a house in Ladbroke Grove, London but it was announced that the new series will showcase a range of locations across the UK, including locations in Halifax, Coventry, Great Yarmouth and Reading Prison.
Film crews for the series are set to be coming to Calderdale on March 5.
Filming for some scenes is reported to be taking place at Halifax Bus Station.
Calderdale is no stranger to visiting film crews with filming taking place for CBBC series High Hoops, BBC drama Riot Women and Danny Boyle film Ink over the past few years.
Ahead of filming for the new series ITV’s Drama Commissioner, Huw Kennair Jones said: “It’s always beyond exciting to return to the brilliant world of ‘Unforgotten’ and this series promises to be no different.
"Once again Chris Lang has created a compelling set of characters interwoven in an intriguing and enticing story, one that will keep Jess and Sunny and the audience guessing until the very end.
"We’re thrilled that once again, Andy Wilson is directing every episode and with the brilliant team at Mainstreet Pictures producing, it’s going to be another fantastic series.”
